Rogue Legacy drops on PlayStation platforms July 29th.

"It’s a rogue-lite game where you must conquer a magical castle which is constantly changing. Every time you die, your children succeed you. Each child has his or her own unique genetic traits, so one child might be a near sighted wizard, and another could be a flatulent ninja. So every play through is unique, right from the get-go.

As an added bonus, all the money you earn is passed down to your children, giving each generation a leg up on the last. And you’ll need every edge you can get, because this game is hard!"-PlayStation Blog-

I'm workin' on a Hype List post (when I can find the time, lately), and Rogue Legacy is one of a handful of 2014 console indies you should have an eye on. Even better, it's cross-buy and cross-save!

buy any PlayStation version, get the other two versions!

transfer your save from the Vita to the PS4 and so on!

all the content from the PC original version of the game, including all updates, is here!

the game was, oddly, designed with Vita controls in mind so there'll be no screen-tapping in place of buttons!

This is where I write about video games. Beyond the simple pleasure of it, I hope to use this place as a bit of a mental gym to re-develop my writing style - something I seem to have misplaced around the turn of the century.

It will also serve as a personal blog, but for the most part if you enjoy discussion of gaming news, independent reviews and pointless musings, you have come to precisely the right place.

It's my custom to do at least one post per day - but whether it ends up being ten posts of breaking news and a review, or one post complaining about how I have a tummy ache is not set in stone.
